Dave Sez: These are the best two recordings, sound quality speaking, of the 1980 American and European tours - the European leg of the tour particularly is characterized by low-quality audience recordings, viz Den Haag and Hamburg (aka Anthrax Marxists). Whilst the latter is famous as the earliest known vinyl bootleg, the European recordings are really only worth it (but really worth it) for the unreleased tracks (not played in America) which I will collect in a specific "Gang Of Four - Euro Unreleased" download - otherwise, the versions of known songs do not compare to other recordings of the year. These are the only two recordings of Go4 1980 gigs worth having in their entirety despite their failings. This is all there is. Apart from extras. That's all. Dave Sez.

D.A.F.'s most famous songs are "Kebabträume" and the grimly sarcastic "Der Mussolini" from the album "Alles ist gut", a pulsing dance song. The lyrics "Dance the Mussolini, move your behind, clap your hands, and now the Adolf Hitler, and now the Jesus Christ", caused a scandal.

In interviews they claimed to not target anything or anyone specific while creating lyrics to be taken as a parody of words and phrases floating around in the public media. "Sato-Sato" and "Der Mussolini" are both examples of songs written around Delgado-López's fascination with the sound of a particular word. A few months before the 2003 invasion of Iraq D.A.F. released "The Sheriff (An Anti-American Song)".

The album "Alles ist gut" (Everything is fine) received the German "Schallplattenpreis" award by the "Deutsche Phono-Akademie", an association of the German recording industry.

The first two D.A.F. albums featured the original four-piece line-up and a range of styles. Some songs on Die Kleinen und die Bösen (The Small Ones and the Evil Ones), featured thrashed guitars, electronic screeching, and hammered drums while Gabi screamed and ululated. The record was widely lauded by the British music press, and earned the group an early cult following in the UK.

As their sound crystallized into a more rhythmically intense and minimalistic style, Gabi and Robert ejected the other members, who had become superfluous both musically and in terms of the chemistry within the band. On the later albums recorded by the remaining duo, the arrangements were sparse and heavily electronic, the singing evolved from abstract screams and mumbles to a very direct, rhythmic vocal style, and their live performances were delivered with such intensity that a 1980 concert in Düsseldorf had to be stormed by the police to bring the crowd under control.

The second full length album, Alles ist gut, was recorded entirely by Gabi and Robert working as a duo, and displayed the distinctive D.A.F. formula. Robert played drums — usually fairly simple and relatively unsyncopated patterns, but with simple variations that prevented them sounding robotic — while Gabi sang. The only other instrument used was a Korg MS-20 synthesizer, usually driven by a 16-step analog sequencer. Typically only a single sequencer-driven line would be used for a song, the sequence functioning both as melodic accompaniment and as a bassline. The song Der Mussolini is a perfect example of this. On other songs, such as the title track, certain notes of the sequence were set slightly out of tune. Overall the songs entail a complex tension between the predominantly visceral (the voice), the relentlessly robotic (the 16-step sequences), and the drums, which lie somewhere in between. One song, Der Räuber und der Prinz (The Robber and the Prince), also features a Glockenspiel as a sinister reminder of childhood.

This show is on the rough side, but only the third known recording from 1979 - recorded before Entertainment was released. Thanks to the original poster, tonytiger of the late great nargothebortsdeviantsubculture

Ministry live in San Francisco, CA on 12/23/1992. This is a VHS quality hand-held fan recording from the balcony to the right of the stage. Sound quality is pretty damn good. Video quality is well...VHS.Filmer doesn't have the most steady hand and likes to zoom in and out alot.

Sorta adds to the chaos of a Ministry show like this, only five months after Psalm 69 was released.Picture is dark most of the time, except for flashing stage lights... it's a concert dammit! Crank it up!

I got this video from the venue engineer and producer, Schotte.It was a part of video tracks from this show produced for possible use in a documentation on Foetus/JG Thirlwell.

This documentation is released now, as part of the album 'Limb', released May 2009, including a DVD with the documentation and various Foetus/Steroid Maximus/Manorexia/etc live material, including 2 other tracks from this show 2001-09-15 Hannover, 'Mighty whity' and 'Your salvation'.

Check this out on http://foetus.org/shop/So this track is NOT official released and I got the permission to share it.
